Meh, drifting does absolutely nothing for me. My 1982 240 Volvo was a drift car when I wanted it to be.

Well it appears this car could be made to be good at whatever form of racing you want to use it for. I am just impressed with the fact a guy chose a Fox to go this nuts on. I know a guy here in Iowa that put the dodge V10 in an SN-95, but hadnt seen it done to a fox, let alone with an 8-71 on top.

At one point I was going to attempt putting a Ford v10 in a fox I owned. The only issue was the radiator... It would have to go in the rear. 5.4 mod motor mounts and an AJE k member would work. T56 will bolt up...but the firing order is a little funky. Mega Squirt won't support it. The viper V10 has a lot of aftermarket support...an more powah potential.

I like fox drift cars.... I like all fox cars. That chassis has some serious work in it.

I'd like to build a drift car but would have to start with a rotten body. The body I have is too nice to chop up. If the quarter wheel wells were bad...and the shock towers rotted, I'd chop it up in a heart beat. Better to build a drift car than go to the crusher. It would never be worth original car money...so....

Im with ya there, except I would never have time to actually go racing. It would just be a street "drift car."

Apparently using a fox as a drift car seems to be a trend gathering steam. High HP, short wheel base, light rear...
